If you haven't read my other threads over the last week I've set up and plumbed many fresh water tanks over the years. This is my first real SW tank. 93g cube(ish). Thanks Dallas. 20g long sump mag 7 return and an ATO. It's going in the corner over my room near my office. I'm building barn style bypass doors in that entry way, so the back of the stand will be against the door so I can get to it from there too.
I had asked for skimmer recommendations here.

I thought I'd make a thread for thew whole build. I hope to hear some tips and get recommendations for set up, filtration, lighting, fish, coral and live rock selection and placement.
I definitely want coral and fish. Clowns, a blue tang, flame angel, maybe a dwarf lion fish. I think I would like to keep some open space for fish too. I'm not that familiar with rays and sizes but I've always like them. I figure my tank is a little small for that.
I think I want to add another sump maybe for a basic refugium. I've read a little about deep sand beds but I don't know much about them. I'll probably end up putting my ATO reservoir on the other side of the wall.
I do not want an overly automated tank. I don't want a ton of electronics, dosers or things like that. Part of the hobby for me is the time I put in to it.
How's this for a skimmer? Decent deal?
